A friend who is a teacher claimed that LLMs can write consistent plots now and are allegedly used for stories in textbooks or course material in language learning classes.

"Ares, the shield-stabber, rose up against Athene with the brazen spear in his hand, and spoke a word of revilement: ‘Why once more, you dogfly, have you stirred up trouble among the gods with the blast of your blown fury, and the pride of your heart driving you?’"

📸 La Fuente Egeria

Two-handled jar (amphora) depicting the birth of Athena.

Athena, the patron goddess of Athens, was said to have been born fully grown from the head of Zeus. Here, Zeus sits on his throne holding his thunderbolt, as the goddess springs from his head in full armour. Hephaistos, who is usually present with the axe he used to split his father's skull, is absent, but Hermes and Apollo look on at left, and at right Ares and a goddess, possibly Aphrodite, observe the miraculous birth.
